2011 MERCEDES-BENZ C300 Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MERCEDES-BENZ C300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V081000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN FEBRUARY OF 2016. AFTER CONTACTING MERCEDES-BENZ OF RICHMOND (8225 WEST BROAD ST., HENRICO, VA) AND THE MANUFACTURER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE DEFECT WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE RECEIVED SEVERAL LETTERS INDICATING THAT THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

'TAKATA RECALL THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR AIRBAGS SINCE FEBRUARY,2016 EVER SINCE I HAVE T HEARD FROM ANYONE ON BEHALF I CALLED DEALERS THEY SAID PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I BELIEVE THIS IT'S VERY INRESPOSIBLE IN YOUR BEHALF. IT CLEARLY SAID IN CASE OF A ACCIDENT SERIOUSLY INJURIES CAN OCCUR DUE TO THIS SO CAN YOU SOMEONE GIVE ME AN ANSWER ON THIS.

TAKATA INFLATORS THE FIRST RECALL WAS FEBRUARY 2016 FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IS PAST THE PARTS WERE PROMISED IN SEPTEMBER 2018 AND NO DELIVERY. NOW A NEW RECALL OF JANUARY 2019 FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS BEEN ISSUED I'M TOLD BY MERCEDES-BENZ USA THAT THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 2019 . THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME GIVEN THE THREE YEARS OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL NOT BEING REMEDIED. ALSO I'M TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE COLLAPSED I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT THIS IS A DEFECT ALSO SUBJECT TO RECALL.

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MAY 2016. I HAVE RECEIVED TWO SUBSEQUENT LETTERS DATED DECEMBER 2017 AND JUST TODAY FEBRUARY 14, 2019 STATING THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE COMPANY ( MERCEDES BENZ USA ) THROUGH THEIR PARENT COMPANY DAIMLER AG WAS TAKING ALL NECESSARY MEASURES TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THEY WERE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AND AIRBAG SUPPLIERS TO PROVIDE A REMEDY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND TO PRIORITIZE REPAIRS ACCORDING TO RISK FACTORS IDENTIFIED THROUGH TESTING. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD ONCE AGAIN THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE, BUT WE WILL BE CONTACTED ONCE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN 2 1/2 YEARS AND STILL NO REMEDY. WE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH A BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF IN THE FRONT SEAT OF OUR VEHICLE. WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH? ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED. I PURCHASED MERCEDES BENZ VEHICLE BECAUSE I WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE THEY WERE ONE OF THE SEVEN SAFEST CARS ON THE ROAD. I DO NOT HAVE A WARM AND FUZZY FEELING ABOUT OWNING MY MERCEDES WHEN THE PARENT COMPANY CANNOT REMEDY A SITUATION THAT PUTS MY FAMILY AND I AT RISK. I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED MORE FROM MERCEDES BENZ. GOING FORWARD I DO NOT WANT MORE EMPTY PROMISES. FIX THIS PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL SO YOU MIGHT RESTORE SOME CONFIDENCE IN YOUR NAME AGAIN.

THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND IS STILL UNRESOLVED. THIS IS NOT CORRECTED IN A TIMELY MANNER
